hey Steve, glad your still around. haven't seen much traffic from ya.?

It looks like an 11 or 13-inch Series R from the mid 1930’s. Steve Sent: Monday, April 1, 2024 11:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [SouthBendLathe] Lathe ID I'm not good at

??? ??? If it was the guy selling " these other ones instead " telling im they can't be fixed I'd be lookin for a second opinion . More pics could help identify also he could post the pics over

Photos 0 and 1 show a very different paint finish.? Was there a significant time interval ?? ?What did you use to clean the "dark brown haze" from the surfaces? It looks beautiful.

Cost to repair is not a concern for many people. If you do your own repairs the cost is much lower. I traded off a lathe years ago that was missing the tailstock, could have made a much better deal

I'm not good at identifying old South Bends. A friend of mine has this lathe and another he will probably scrap. He already got rid of a tail stock. He was told it would cost to much to repair, but

Mike Allen asked for more info on the rear mounted tool post seen on my SB 9". This came to me with the lathe. It's an added dovetail to the cross slide. Held by four smallish cap screws it's not the

I may not have understood the original question but I thought it referred to finding the hole centers rather than drilling them. As likely as not before NC stuff became so common. die makers

Hi Nick, I have a heavy 10 and when I bought it almost 60 years ago, I bought an Enco square turret for it from the local South Bend dealer.? That seemed to be the only alternative to a lantern post

Another cheat I use on the lathe that sort of works, to stop a drill from wandering is use something in the tool post pressed near the tip of the drill bit when you begin the drilling operation.

Yes i should have added using a Center drill prior to the small pilot hole. I do this mostly on the lathe. Another tip I found on the www is using a steel ruler to find the Center on a shaft. It

Pilot holes are a good idea in most cases, especially if the ultimate drill size is vary big. Large drills alone may not track due to cutting torque.? Accurately positioned drill points matter a lot

Oh boy I need to edit that posting! The third step I omitted was finish the hole with the final drill size. The hole size you really want. Me bad
